Patient Reviews
Sep 06, 2024
[...]. Dr. Lau took the time to sit down with me and ask about my medical history and symptoms in depth and also asked about how my treatment has been going and what my future plans are, so we could figure out the best treatment plan going forward. I really appreciated the time and attention he gave to understanding my condition and helping me get the treatment I need.
